	| Hi all, 
 Does anybody knows how to create the util directory??? One of the user wants this directory to be created so that when the procedures are run, the files will be saved in this directory for the future lookup.I guess I will have to add a parameter in the init file as well.I looked up in the metalink, I didnt come up with anything. Also in google, I couldnt find anything.
 
 Help greatly appreciated.
 Thanks

	| I am sorry...you are right its Utl_file. 
 I have oracle 10.2.0.1.0 on windows xp. I did the below commands to create the directory:
 
 SQL> connect system
 Enter password: ******
 Connected.
 
 SQL> create directory utl_file_dir as 'c:\temp\utl_file';
 Directory created.
 
 SQL> grant write,read on directory utl_file_dir to ctxsys;
 Grant succeeded.
 
 And in the cmd,
 
 C:\>mkdir c:\temp\UTL_FILE
 
 Connected as ctxsys and ran a sample procedure and executed the procedure.Below is the error:
 
 ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
 PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'example'
 ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
 PL/SQL: Statement ignored
 
 But, I dont see any file in the created directory under temp\utl_file.
 
 Please give me your comments.Thanks!

	| Hi, 
 I dont want to debug the procedure.It was just an example procedure. I am only trying to create a utl directory so that the user can read the file from that directory. So ,I have mentioned the procedure of what I did to create the directory.
 
 After executing the procedure, I dont see the file in the c:\temp\utl_file directory.
 
 please help.Thanks so much!

	| We can't help you, because you use "wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'example'", and since we don't know how the procedure 'example' looks, and we don't even know how you called it there is absolutely nothing we can to to help you. |
